Pain Of Salvation - IdiocracyIt was actually a more difficult song to transcribe than I thought, as the intro riffstwo guitars playing what one guitar usually could, as well as the intense layering ofin the verses and choruses. I basically tabbed out what I could, so apologies ifvital is missing. I know I kinda skipped the ending with the acoustic guitar solo andbut it's pretty buried in the piano, so I couldn't quite pick it all out.Played on seven string guitar tuned (low to high) A E A D G

It's all based in the A minorboxes at the fifth and tenth frets, and is quite buried beneath the piano, making itto transcribe at this time.
